βSuch a fun time together! We (6 of us) really enjoyed this creative escape room which was set in the historical building. Gave it such a fun vibe. The room was a little tricky at times but we got a few clues to help us. Super fun. Definitely do it again sometime. πβ

βCustomer service was top notch! The manger was warm and welcoming, guiding us through everything we needed to know. They had many rooms filled with puzzles that were exceptionally well made. This is one of the best escape rooms Iβve done and would highly recommend.β
